I was walking to my car and came upon a lady I've seen frequently around town. She asked me if I had any money so she could get something to eat. My instant reaction (as I was grumpy and in a hurry) was, "No, I'm sorry not today." I thought I've given her money and food before and I'm going to run out of money soon myself if I keep giving it to the same person!
Then guilt spread all over my brain and body. Why would I say no? I'm still not sure, but anyway- I remembered I had just packed a homemade banana muffin in my bag for breakfast, so I stopped, turned around and called out (almost in a yell, she was quite a distance away by now) "Ma'am". She didn't hesitate as she turned around and looked at me in anticipation.
I walked quickly toward her and she met me halfway. I said, "I have a banana muffin here if you'd like that to eat?"
"A what?" She asked.
"A banana muffin. I made it and it's really good (if I do say so myself :))". I answered.
"Ok, sure. Thank you."
And off to work I went. Luckily I had some goldfish crackers in my desk that I could have for breakfast later :)
Peace :)
